Daily Fantasy Basketball Diagnosis: 4.26

Beast of the Night: Russell Westbrook finished the 2011-12 NBA season with a bang, producing a pretty line of 30 points, six rebounds, nine assists, three steals, four blocks and a three-pointer. He shot 50 percent (10-20) from the field and 90 percent (9-10) from the free-throw line, and had two turnovers. Westbrook is finishing the season with top 20 value, which falls short of expectations. The most noticeable stat is his 5.5 assists per game this season, well below the 8.2 assists he dished out per game last season.

John Wall: 7-16 FG (44%), 7-8 FT (88%), 21 Pts, 7 Reb, 13 Ast, 7 Stl, 6 TO; Wall has double-dipped in his last four games. He’s finishing the season with top 90 value, but that won’t stop owners from drafting him in the third or fourth round of next season’s drafts. He’d be a much more sensible pick in rounds five or six in nine-category leagues.

Caron Butler: 3-8 FG (38%), 3 threes, 9 Pts, 3 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 4 TO; Butler started out the season with a loud bang but has since withered into a middling fantasy asset. It’s still good to see him back as a somewhat relevant player for fantasy basketball purposes. He should be seen as a three-point specialist going forward.
